Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pita bread (large)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Brush each pita bread with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Place the pita rounds on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to slightly crisp them up.
Remove the pitas from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute. Spread the minced garlic evenly over each pita.
Sprinkle each pita with shredded mozzarella cheese, dividing it evenly among the four pitas.
Top the cheese with sliced Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano across the top of each pita, and add any additional salt or black pepper to taste.
Return the prepared pitas to the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the pitas are crispy.
Remove the pita pizzas from the oven and let them rest for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves before serving. Slice into quarters and enjoy!
